Genshin Impact Trailer Reveals Varesa and Story Teaser
Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse revealed a new trailer focusing on the story, on top of revealing a new character likely coming in version 5.5, Varesa.
She’s an electro character defined as “Stalwart Warrior and Orchard Owner from the Collective of Plenty.”
Here’s how Iansan describes her.
“My most unusual pupil, Varesa… nobody pulls off laid-back like she does. No matter where she goes, she acts like a little kid on a field trip — all she wants to do is try the local delicacies, then find a cozy spot to camp and sleep. But should you ever face the Abyss’s monsters alongside her, look out. Once she dons her mask, her rush tactics can be… somewhat aggressive.”
